Herman Reiber, of West Salisbury, who had been down with diphtheria for about two weeks, is able to be out again. One of his children also had diphtheria, but the child has also re- covered.

Her husband died a year or more ago, but she is survived by several children. Mothers who give their children Ken- nedy’s Laxative Cough Syrup invariably indorse it.

Nearly every person who is subject to attacks from the stomach suffers from a morbid dread of a dietetic treatment for relief, that is three-fourths starva- tion, and one-fourth toast and milk.

An exchange says the way to make a Happy New Year is to pay vour bills. The suggestion is excellent. We might add that the first man who should be paid is ‘the publisher, especially the publisher of the country newspaper. While the prices of all his material and of his labor have gone up with the advancing values in other lines, his ad- vertising and printing rates have not advanced in proportion, and his sub- scription rates have not advanced at all. He never made a fortune out of his business, and he is making no more, and sometimes less today. He is obliged to pay his labor every week and his other bills every month. He should not be obliged to wait longer for his money. Be just to him. No man does more free and forceful work for the com- munity, and none deserve more con- sideration.—Connellsville Courier. It’s a pleasure to tell our readers about a Cough Cure like Dr. Shoop’s. For years Dr. Shoop has fought against the use of Opium, Chloroform, or other unsafe ingredients commonly found in Cough remedies. Dr. Shoop, it seems, has welcomed the Pure Food and Drug Law recently enacted, for he has work- ed along similar lines many years. For nearly 20 years Dr. Shoop’s Congh Cure containers have had a warning printed on them against Opium and other narcotic poisons. He has thus made it possible for mothers to protect their children by simply insisting on having Dr. Shoop’s Cough Cure. Sold by Elk Lick Pharmacy. 2-1 Dakota’s Big Farms. An Englishman traveling over this country said: “I once heard a Dakotan talk about the big farms they have out there. “We have some sizable farms,” he said, thoughtfully. “Yes, sir; pretty sizable. I’ve seen a man on one of our big farms start out in the spring and plow a straight furrow till fall. Then he turned around and harvested back.” “Wonderful,” said I. : “On our Dakota farms,” he went on, “it’s the usual thing to send young mar- ried couples out to milk the cows, Their children bring home the milk.” “Wonderful!” I repeated. “Once,” he said, “1 saw a Dakota farmer's family prostrated with grief. The women were weeping, the dogs were barking, the children were squall- ing and the tears streamed down the man’s face as he got into his 20-mule team and drove off.” “Where was he going?” said I. “He was going half way across the tarm to feed the pigs,” said the Da- kotan. “Did he ever get back?” I asked. “It ain’t time for him yet,” was the reply. CURED OF LUNG TROUBLE. “It is now eleven years since I had a narrow escape from consumption,” writes C. O. Floyd, a leading business man of Kershaw, 8. C. “I had run down in weight to 135 pounds, and coughing was constant, both by day and by night. Finally I began taking Dr. King’s New Discovery, and contin- ued this for about six months, when my cough and lung trouble were en- tirely gone and I was restored to my pormal weight, 170 pounds.” Thou- sands of persons are healed every year.

Blanken- ship, of Beck, Tenn. “I have proved to an absolute certainty that Electric Bitters will positively cure this distress- ing condition. - The first bottle gave me great relief,and after taking a few more bottles, I was completely cured; so completely that it becomes a pleasure to recommend this great remedy.” Sold under guarantee at E.
